Chapter 188 [Something is wrong]

Seeing these two unfamiliar groups of people, Jiang Lili asked the fishermen who were eating hot pot, "Those two young men don't look like they are from the same fishing fleet as you."

Captain Chen, who had already drunk some soup to fill his stomach, replied, "Those two men are definitely not from our fleet. They are brothers. The elder one is Zhang Zhao, and the younger one is Zhang Huang."

"They dislocated their hand trying to control the boat in the storm, and the boat was damaged. Our large ship happened to be passing by, so we lent a hand and rescued them."

Captain Chen looked at the two brothers with admiration in his eyes. "These two brothers are very grateful. They seem to be very familiar with every part of the South China Sea. They told us which areas are the most abundant in fish, so we can return with a full load."

"Who would have thought that we would be so unlucky as to encounter frequent storms and wouldn't be able to return to the port immediately."

Jiang Lili understood that these fishermen were quite friendly at the moment. When she heard that the two brothers were very familiar with the distribution of fish in the South China Sea, her eyes lit up.

She walked up to the two fishermen and asked, "Brothers, do you want to join these four for a hot pot dinner?"

"This is the last pot. If you don't eat it, we villagers will eat it ourselves."

The four people wanted to eat coconut chicken hotpot, but they were worried that the two brothers didn't want to eat it. If they went over to ask, it might be difficult for the other party to refuse. They were discussing whether to treat the two brothers to it. Now it was best that Jiang Lili came forward to ask.

The two brothers rescued by the fishing fleet were in their early twenties. One was tall and rugged with dark skin, wearing a wide, old-fashioned cloth robe;

A man wearing tight shorts, thin body, with a somewhat childish face.

You can tell who is the older brother and who is the younger brother just by looking at their appearance and temperament.

When brother Zhang Zhao heard Jiang Lili's question, he answered cheerfully, "Sure, young lady, your hot pot smells delicious, and we're hungry too."

"But right now there's something more urgent. My brother's hand is injured. I wonder if there's a village doctor in your village who could take a look at him?"

Jiang Lili's gaze shifted to her younger brother Zhang Huang. The boy looked to be the same age as her now. He seemed a little shy and had a pair of dark eyes.

"Of course, I know a little bit about medicine. If the injury isn't particularly serious, I can help."

"Four brothers, go eat first. My younger brother and I will follow."

Zhang Zhao first invited the hungry fishermen to eat, and then said to his brother, "Brother, please stretch out your hand for Miss Jiang to see."

Zhang Huang stretched out his left hand, and there was obvious redness and swelling on his left ankle.

Jiang Lili discovered that Zhang Huang's hands were obviously different from those of the fishermen. Zhang Huang's hands were very "clean", his nails were round and neat, and there were no wounds on his hands except for the injured area.

The fishermen's hands are not only tanned by the sun, but also lack fresh fruits and vegetables due to being at sea all year round, leading to vitamin deficiency. Their hands are dry, cracked and peeling to varying degrees, and their nails are somewhat white. There are wounds of varying sizes on their hands, all of which seem to have been caused by operations such as collecting fishing nets.

She looked at her brother Zhang Zhao's hands again. Although Zhang Zhao's hands were tanned, there were no small wounds on them. However, there were several calluses on his fingers and palms.

This reminded Jiang Lili of Xin Che's hands, which had calluses common among martial artists.

Jiang Lili immediately became alert.

She quietly sent a message to Master Liao, asking him to find an excuse to slip away and talk about this matter with Xin Che and Xin Cheng.

Master Liao told Yin Zhen that he was going to the mountains to play with monkeys.

Jiang Lili examined the wound and then said to the two Zhang brothers, "This little brother's ankle joint was bruised, but the wound has not damaged the flesh. Just apply some medicated oil, apply some herbal medicine, and bandage it."

As a female relative, she was not in a position to help bandage and fix the wound, so she pointed to a child from the Yuanbao Gang and said, "Xiao Hai, come and help this big brother apply the medicine."

Xiaohai is seven years old this year. He has single eyelids, a fair complexion, and carries a small medicine box on his back.

There is an old village doctor in Yeli Village. In order to find out the ability of this old village doctor, Jiang Lili once brought her children to visit the old village doctor and ask for some basic medical knowledge.

When the villagers of Yeli Village first accepted new villagers, they said that the elders in their village would spare no effort to pass on knowledge to the new villagers.

The old village doctor also did what he said and taught patiently, including teaching how to use cloth strips to fix wounds on joints.

While Jiang Lili was seeking advice, the squad leader was watching the whole time and said that the old village doctor was very reliable and capable, and that he benefited a lot from many of the old village doctor's demonstrations.

Of course, the only bad thing is that many elderly people in the village do not know how to speak Mandarin and cannot communicate in the language.

But now with Jiang Lili, the little language genius, everything is not a problem.

There are a total of fourteen children in the Yuanbao Gang. Under the guidance of Jiang Lili and Master Liao, many children have found things that they are good at or interested in.

Xiaohai is the child who is particularly talented in studying medicine. He is diligent and hardworking. While other children are playing in the mud, he is carefully memorizing the herbal illustrations. He does not recognize many words and often asks Jiang Lili for help.

In order to commend his spirit of research, Jiang Lili also gave him a small cross-body medicine box.

Xiao Hai was very happy and carried the dog on his back every day. If any villager accidentally fell or got hurt, he would "make a visit".

Now he was helping Zhang Huang treat his wounds, and he really looked like a little doctor.

At this moment, Xiao Hai took out the small medicine box he carried with him, opened it, quickly found the herbs, crushed them with great skill, and applied the medicine to Zhang Huang. His actions attracted the attention of many fishermen.

"This little kid looks only seven or eight years old, but he can actually help adults apply medicine!"

"The bandaging skills are no less than those of any doctor I've ever seen. Are even the children in Yeli Village this skilled?"

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Huang also praised the child highly.

Xiao Hai listened to everyone's praise. Although his face flushed, he remained calm. After bandaging Zhang Huang's wrist, Xiao Hai said, "It's all thanks to the village doctor and Boss Jiang who taught me so well."

Jiang Lili patted Xiao Hai's head and said cheerfully to the fishermen, "You've made the right choice by coming to our village for food, shelter, and medical care! From now on, if you encounter any problems at sea or need a break, you can also come to our village."

"Or we can agree on a time and place at sea. When the dry rations and food you brought with you are almost used up, we will send you fresh fruits and vegetables."

Jiang Lili's words made the fishermen who were eating coconut chicken very excited.

If they could have such a place to rest every time they go fishing in the sea, they wouldn't have to be exhausted every time they go out to sea.
